NBA: Being criticized for half a year at the beginning

After returning to the locker room, the Rockets were still in high spirits after completing the buzzer beater.

Tang Yu entered the locker room and saw everyone talking and laughing about Jeremy Lin's buzzer beater.

Curry said: "Jeremy's buzzer beater was very exciting, and it will definitely be one of the most exciting buzzer beaters of the year!"

"That's right, man, Jeremy and Kevin led the Rockets to an epic reversal, and this game will be remembered!" Anthony added.

"Look, our defense journey has another exciting chapter, this is a memory for all of us!" Harden laughed.

After Tang Yu and everyone else's voices gradually faded, they came to the center of the locker room, and everyone knew that their leader was going to speak.

Tang Yu said: "It was a difficult and wonderful night for us. We won the victory, but we also paid a big price. I am very pleased to have you guys on this team. What I want to say is..."

Tang Yu paused and continued: "The team will help you pay the fines, and the salaries will be paid as usual. I will reward Jason Terry, Gerald Green and Carl Landry with a Ferrari LaFerrari supercar each. In addition, Xiaoka and Ray will each get a Patek Philippe watch!"

"Wow!"

There was an exclamation in the locker room, and everyone was amazed at Tang Yu's generosity.

The applause of 'pa pa pa' sounded like thunder.

"But I don't advocate this kind of behavior. Don't deliberately make trouble on the court. At that time, it will not be a reward but the most severe punishment!"

Tang Yu added.

Then Tang Yu sat next to Jason Terry and talked to him about the cause of the conflict.

Terry said, "Boss, I'm not an impulsive and belligerent person. I admit that we had an argument, but that was not enough to start a fight... He spit at me, so I fought back!"

Tang Yu heard this and waved to Wallace, "Rashid, is the video ready?"

Wallace took the tablet and said, "This is the video that the videographer just slowed down."

Tang Yu took the tablet and watched it with Terry, "That's it, boss, did you see it?"

Yes, just as Terry said, Rondo spit at Terry from his mouth, and then Terry exploded.

"Yes, I saw Jason, and I know this is intolerable."

Tang Yu then turned to Wallace and said, "Let TS Sports interpret this video and send it out."

"Understand, boss!"

After Wallace left, Tang Yu continued to say to Terry, "You just need to tell the truth when facing the media."

"Understand, boss!"

The next day, all the media began to criticize Rondo, and the video of him spitting at Terry had been known to everyone.

However, Rondo did not respond to this, but chose to remain silent.

On the contrary, Terry described the entire process of the video in the media, which was understood by most fans.

After returning to Houston, Webber urgently signed two players with ten-day short contracts in the Development League.

On January 6, the league announced the punishment results for the Rockets and Clippers for the fight.

This punishment can be called the largest ticket since the fight at the Palace of Auburn Hills, exceeding the ticket for the fight between the Knicks and the Nuggets in 2006.

Rajon Rondo, the instigator of the Clippers' incident, was suspended for 18 games and fined $125,000.

Although Randy Foye was hospitalized for a concussion, he still could not escape the sanctions. He was suspended for 12 games and fined $50,000.

Vucevic was suspended for 3 games and fined $10,000 for choking Terry.

The Rockets' fine was also not small, even more than the Clippers.

Jason Terry was suspended for 8 games and fined $30,000. Although Little Airplane was one of the initiators of this incident, his suspension was the least among the three Rockets.

Gerald Green was suspended for 15 games and fined $100,000. Green paid the price for his combination punches, and Rondo's two big teeth were worth it.

Carl Landry's one-punch KO of Randy Foye also cost a lot, with a 12-game suspension and a fine of $75,000.

There were also fines for two teams, the Rockets and the Clippers were each fined $300,000.

A total of 6 players from the two teams were suspended for 68 games, and the total fine amount reached $990,000, which shows the intensity of the league's punishment for the court fight this time.

At the same time, the league also issued a new rule that all players who took the initiative to punch in the conflict will be suspended for a minimum of 3 games, effective immediately.

That is to say, the next time there is a head-on or shove, as long as you punch the other party, whether you hit or not, you will be suspended for 3 games.

At the same time, Tang Yu and Jordan did not appeal the incident. Both of them received a call from Mr. Stern, ordering them not to confront each other again.This incident has led to complications.

After the team held a pre-match meeting with the Thunder in the morning, Tang Yu informed McGrady and Blair that they would be included in the rotation list tonight.

Tang Yu's task for McGrady is to take over the task of organizing the team during Jeremy Lin's absence.

Blair's playing time may be very small, mainly depending on the vacuum period of Yao Ming and Oden. If conditions permit, Blair will not play.

When the players left the Rockets training center, Tang Yu handed the keys of the three Ferrari LaFerrari cars to Terry, Green and Landry.

Although the three could not participate in the game, they were very happy to receive such a reward from the boss.

The red LaFerrari is still a good match for the Rockets.

Tang Yu suddenly had an idea, "Chris, I want to cooperate with Ferrari. I think it should be the official car of our team!"

"Boss, do you need their sponsorship?"

Tang Yu shook his head and said, "Of course not, I'm talking about cooperation. Our team's players can provide free advertising for it every year, and what we need in return is that as long as the team wins the championship, Ferrari will provide us with 15 customized sports cars every year."

"Boss, I think we can also set up advertising space for them in the stadium, so that it will appear more sincere."

Tang Yu nodded and said, "No problem, but we don't sell the naming rights of the stadium. By the way, if the negotiation is successful, I need to customize a Ferrari team bus!"

After Tang Yu explained, he took a helicopter back home. In the afternoon, he enjoyed his alone time with Tang Tang at home. Taylor Swift has resumed work after the New Year and is preparing her new album.

Tang Yu was playing with little Tang Tang, and Max knocked on the door gently.

"What's wrong, man?"

"Boss, the boss who manages the nightclub told me that James has been playing late at night recently."

Tang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. He had given Harden a warning last time, but he didn't expect that this guy was really restless. Could it be that he has gained some weight recently?

"Don't worry about it. I think he will manage his private life after he recovers from his injury."

The Rockets are in a turbulent time now, and Tang Yu doesn't want to make the locker room more complicated because of Harden's affairs.

Now is the key season to hit the three consecutive championships. Everyone wants to see the Rockets laugh, and negative news is what they expect.

Once the locker room is lost, the game on the field is likely to collapse.

However, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and soon Tang Yu will stand in the center of the storm again!
